       This module was inspired by code at <http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=36684> written by japhy (Jeff
       Pinyan), dragonchild, and Aristotle. This Perl module was written by Mike Doherty.

       "String::Trim" trims whitespace off your strings. chomp trims only $/ (typically, that's newline), but
       "trim" will trim all leading and trailing whitespace.

trim
       Returns the string with all leading and trailing whitespace removed. Trimming undef gives you undef.
       Alternatively, you can trim in-place.

           my $var     = ' my string  ';
           my $trimmed = trim($var);
           # OR
           trim($var);

       "trim" also knows how to trim an array or arrayref:

           my @to_trim = (' one ', ' two ', ' three ');
           my @trimmed = trim(@to_trim);
           # OR
           trim(@to_trim);
           # OR
           my $trimmed = trim(\@to_trim);
           # OR
           trim(\@to_trim);

       String::Trim - trim whitespace from your strings

       "trim" is often used by beginners, who may not understand how to spin their own. While String::Util does
       have a "trim" function, it depends on Debug::ShowStuff, which depends on Taint, which fails the test
       suite, and doesn't appear to be maintained.  This module installs, is actively maintained, and has no
       non-core dependencies.

       Other options include Text::Trim and String::Strip (which is implemented in XS, and is therefore likely
       to be very fast, but requires a C compiler).

       The development version is on github at <http://github.com/doherty/String-Trim> and may be cloned from
       <git://github.com/doherty/String-Trim.git>

           use String::Trim;

           print "Do it? ";
           trim(my $response = <>);
           print "'$response'\n";
